    Please let me know your thoughts......

    Thanks
    my gto is all of 3700+ and the stock wilwood 4pistons small rotor stops very good you do not need the 6 pistons less you have to have them for The Look i would have had to run a bigger rim so i just used the 4 piston kit the only thing that i can not tell you if they will have fade with the thin rotors in heavy use
